@ShaunFriedman Quick question, I have an AT4040, and I'm on a budget. Right now my chain looks like this: At4040>M-Audio mobile pre>shitty ass pc. I was planning on getting a few more items and was planning on a chain that looks more like this: AT4040>Focusrite ISA One>FNR RNC or FNR RNLA>Focusrite Saffire pro 6>shitty ass pc. This should run me about $1,000 which still makes me cringe but it's the most I'm willing to spend. Thoughts on this? Also is it nessessary to upgrade my interface?

@SpyMcSlapbornn - they are many cable configurations, like RCA to XLR or RCA to 1/4" or whatever you may need.
